Question:
Three objects of equal size and uniform mass density -- a solid sphere, a solid cylinder, and a hollow cylinder -- are placed at the top of a ramp as shown in the image. They are all released from rest at the same time and roll without slipping. What is the order at which they arrive at the bottom of the ramp?
a). hollow cylinder first, solid cylinder second, solid sphere last
b). solid sphere first, solid cylinder second, hollow cylinder last
c). It depends on the mass of the objects, so there is not enough information to rank the arrival time.
d). solid cylinder first, hollow cylinder second, solid sphere last
e). They all arrive at the same time.
